Propose a change

Income Tax Act 2007

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

As published

636 Exception where there is a transfer to a legatee

(1) This section applies if— (a) an individual who is entitled to securities dies, and (b) the securities are transferred by the personal representatives to a legatee. (2) If the securities are transferred in the interest period in which the death occurs, no payment is treated as made under this Chapter as a result of the transfer. (3) If the securities are variable rate securities and the deceased dies after the end of the only or last interest period of the securities, no accrued income profits are treated as made under section 630(2). (4) In this section “legatee” includes any person taking (whether beneficially or as trustee)— (a) under a testamentary disposition, or (b) on an intestacy or partial intestacy. (5) Such a person includes a person taking as a result of an appropriation by personal representatives in or towards the satisfaction of a legacy or other interest or share in the deceased's property.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
